Orla is almost 6 months; the awkward age where they refuse to lie there looking cute with scratch mits on, but don't have the ability to do an awful lot else. I reached this stage with her brother, Finnian, at a much earlier age. Frankly I'm thankful I got 6 months of relative peace.
So the time has come for me to throw money at gadgets and gizmos in the hope of keeping her happy for a few minutes a day, namely a baby seat.
The most popular and well known brand is undoubtedly the Bumbo, which will be my first try. The only issue I had was the tray system is badly thought out, it's difficult to fit while baby is in the seat and pretty unstable. As a simple babysitter it works perfectly well but I don't want to be faced with frustration again when it comes to weaning time (my son could easily disconnect the tray, spilling food everywhere!)
The most attractive alternative is the 'best selling' Mama's & Papa's snug which looks to be more feeding-focused. It has the added benefit of a removable insert to extend the use of the product to an older toddler, which can only be a good thing as while these types of seats are very useful it tends to be for a very short time. It's also really rather pretty! I look forward to getting my hands on one to pit them against each
other.
